      He doesn't review the cars it's almost like he reads the spec sheet. Seriously, he doesn't say personal things in his videos, most of the information he says can be found in press releases.

      @WhitewalkerII 7 років тому

      If I want information which sounds like pure PR (because here it's "personal opinion from the manufacturer"), I can directly go to the manufacturer's website and read it twice as fast as the video.

    I drove the 750 back to back with the S550 for a video I made.
    I leased an S550 W222.
    The BMW feels great, but feels like a "regular car". The S-class feels so much grander.
    It's mostly because of the minimalist button layout and the stalk shifter.
    There's nothing that makes me feel wealthier than driving our S-550 into Manhattan on date night to a typical restaurant.
    The BMW 7 is a nice car, but it ain't no S-class.

    You are wrong about the wheel base... the long wheel base version was specifically made to appeal Chinese buyers (they had it since 1990) but is now available in U.S now. Don't worry, it's not made in China ;)

    • @saabkyle04
      @saabkyle04  8 років тому +23

      We've had the option of a long wheelbase 7-series for quite some time now. Regardless of what market it was designed for, it's nothing new. The only thing new is that we don't get the short wheelbase.

    • @feistyfinn9365
      @feistyfinn9365 8 років тому +6

    considering on one of these +saabkyle04. love how the alpinas hold their value where as normal BMWs become very cheap in a few years.
    the only thing that put me off is the lack of F1 styled gears. I've seen the + & - on the wheel but since you have driven one can you confirm as there isn't an Alpina I can see unless I order one.
